between 11 and 4:18 is 5.3 hours
\n" ); document.write( "In that time, the distance between them is 519.4 miles
\n" ); document.write( "they are going apart at the combined speed of 98 mph
\n" ); document.write( "one is x, the other x+12
\n" ); document.write( "so their sum=98
\n" ); document.write( "2x+12=98
\n" ); document.write( "2x=86
\n" ); document.write( "x=43 mph one bus
\n" ); document.write( "x+12=55 mph the other
\n" ); document.write( "
